Micromax FunBook Review

Re: Micromax FunBook Review - Using Reliance Netconnect+

Just connect the data card first, then do as sms harsh has specified,

Steps :

1. Plug in the device.
2. Go to Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks -> APN -> New APN (top right corner).
3. Enter any name for the connection, enter APN (connection specific).
4. If somehow it asks for MNC & MCC nos, then find your connection and location specific one's from here.
5. Press back & then click on the APN to connect (if it doesnt connect automatically!)

Good luck!

This should solve : Most up to date list of MCC and MNC codes: mobile country codes ? mobile network codes

Tried doing:
1. Inserted the Reliance NetConnect dongle (ZTE 2736)
2. Went to settings >more> Access point names> new apn> :
Name : Rel
APN : #777 (this is the dial in number that I see when I access datacard on desktop
MCC/MNC: 405/05
Username/Password : the usual username & password
3. After filling all these details, i use the back key (there is NO save option)
4. The APN screen is again blank. Does not show the APN that I just created.
5. The dongle LED blinks green, but still, no internet access!!!

Yeah, the back button should save it, if it doesnt, most probably your device hasnt been recognised (but since the green led blinks, that means, the device is ready to connect!! Kinda confusing)

I had been facing the same while trying to save the APN without connecting the device, but i was able to save the APN, after connecting the device!

Just made a quick video using my cellphone. Please point out what I am doing wrong:
MMX FB APN Settings - YouTube

Audio is not also good in Funbook too. Guess I've to depend on my pro alfa

Get a Fiio E6 with that.

#777 as APN ? :O (it should be the dialing number)
Are you sure ? ?

APN's are Access Point Names, for ex: mine for an aircel connection is Aircelgprs.

I googled a bit, read that for Reliance users 'rcomnet' is a common APN for gsm broadband users and is blank ie nothing for cdma broadband users.

many members in this thread have been able to use their other data cards with Fun Book, other than Tata Photon+, so go through the thread to find out the steps.

I know but which modems are supported? Tried using EC1260 but it won't save APN, when clicking back button the page is blank.

Thanks Lionking

And yes Micromax rocks

I was considering on buying this one and was looking for the review, thanks
Everything was perfect except for the battery life!! I fear after a 6-month continuous use we may have to carry the charger wherever we go

It gives around 6 hours battery when reading only ebook and 4 Hours with watching videos, internet surfing, games and listening to music. Battery backup getting better day by day.

Using NetConnect+ CDMA dongle. Funbook does not accept blank APN, and there is not option to provide the dialing number.
